Live Animal Caretaker Needed on Mondays

The Exhibits Department is seeking a person who loves lizards, snakes, and bugs to help us keep our live-exhibit animals healthy. Duties include feeding, watering, cleaning, keeping cages beautiful and talking with our Museum visitors. Volunteers need to realize that taking care of live animals requires commitment and responsibility. Animals are housed in both public and nonpublic areas. Reliability is a must. We have a Monday opening. Volunteers must be available 2–3 hours per week for three months between the hours of 10 AM and 5 PM. Click here to apply.
